I too sat down with my fellow rookie, and assistant captain Jimmy Slothface to get to know him better ahead of the upcoming season.

"How did you get into supporting your NHL team? The Red Wings right?" 
My dad is from Detroit, he moved out to California after college, so he raised me as a fan of all the Detroit sports teams.

"What's your favourite sporting event that you've attended?"
When I was living in Hungary I went to a soccer match for the 2008 Euro qualifiers with Hungary versus Bosnia. I don’t know much about soccer, but the atmosphere from the train ride from Budapest to the walk to the stadium with all the fans was so much fun.  The crowd sang and chanted the whole match I had a blast.

"How far do you think Jimmy can go?"
I think he can play for many seasons in the SHL, I just have to keep improving my character and stick with it.

"How far do you think the current Raiders team can do?"
I think we have a great locker room and can become a force in the second half of the season, we are all very dedicated to getting better and the results are going to start coming.

Thanks Sloth!
